The accelerator is colliding leads ions at an energy about twice as high as that of any previous collider experiment
The Large Hadron Collider today collided protons at lower energies than usual to pave the way for studying lead-ion collisions
In this week's Bulletin find out how a new LHCb programme is delving uncharted waters for the LHC: exploring how protons interact with noble gases
After some 400 trillion proton-proton collisions delivered to both ATLAS and CMS, the accelerator will now switch to its heavy-ion programme
In this week's Bulletin find out how the Linac4 accelerator will reach a milestone energy that will allow the machine to replace Linac2
Meeting of scientists and engineers from around the world marks end of design phase for High-Luminosity project to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider
The final step of the second scrubbing run has successfully been completed
The HiRadMat facility is using SPS beams to test materials and components in extreme conditions
At the 2015 LHCP conference the collaborations presented for the first time combined measurements of many properties of the Higgs boson
As the LHC Physics conference gets underway in St Petersburg, it’s a good time to take stock of where things stand with run-2
The LHC Operations team is tackling the challenges of a demanding beam regime with a series of rigorous tests
